Customer Reviews
The section on the April 11, 2025 tariff increase was a timely reminder to plan for the upcoming cost adjustments.
The clear explanation of the 60% tariff for mining drilling tools (HS code 8207193060) and the note about certifications was very helpful for my business.
The info on the 32.9% tariff for rock drilling equipment (HS code 8207196070) was very helpful. The note about motorized vs manual equipment was a good addition.
The note about anti-dumping duties for iron or aluminum components was exactly what I needed for my mining equipment import.
The page had a lot of useful info, but I found the duplicate HS code 8430498050 confusing. More clarification would have been better.
